Rolling blackouts in April. Can’t wait to see how they try to blame this on renewables.

@maxfawcett If it’s cloudy out or raining solar panels don’t work if there’s little to no wind wind turbines don’t work. Natural gas and coal generators always work unless they break down or require maintenance which is another reason wind turbines aren’t good, they require more maintenance.
@claytoncarruthe @maxfawcett What a load of 🐂💩!! Complex mechanical systems with parts like valves and pipes freeze in extreme cold. Thats what happened during the cold snap 🤔🤷♂️
@claytoncarruthe @maxfawcett Thermal generators went offline unexpectedly today. It wasn't the renewables. 🤦♀️
@claytoncarruthe @maxfawcett Except, as was the case in January, the problem today is not with lower solar or wind power than expected, but is multiple gas plants going offline with (unscheduled) problems. Wind and solar require far LESS maintenance than gas or esp. coal. Their issue is not being a base load
